I have a LINQ statement that I need to do a "contains" with, but also need some sort of loop.
The format of the data is as follows:
x.Product_Name = "product[x], product[y], product[z]"
As user selects multiple items from a list to search on.
I need to find anything within Product_Name
that was selected from the user.
var names = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<IEnumerable<string>>
(criteria.value).ToArray();
This line gets the items a user selected from the list and stores them in an array.
query = query.Where(x => names.contains(x.Product_Name))
Doesn't work because Product_Name
is a flattened out version of products, so I can't do this.
What I need is something like the following:
foreach (string s in names)
{
projectsQuery = projectsQuery.Where(x => x.Product_Name.Contains(s));
}
But when the SQL is created for the above, it uses an AND
conditional instead of an OR
conditional. I need to find any instances where string s
is contained within the Product_Name
.
You can achieve it by creating Expression tree manually. Although it is kind of hard to manage code.
var containsMethod = typeof(string).GetMethod("Contains", new[] { typeof(string) });
var xParameter = Expression.Parameter(typeof(x), "x");
var searchexpression = new stack<expression>();
foreach (string s in names)
{
var containsmethodexp = expression.call(Expression.Property(xParameter, "Product_Name", containsMethod, expression.constant(s));
if (searchexpression.count == 0)
{
searchexpression.push(containsmethodexp);
}
else
{
searchexpression.push(expression.orelse(containsmethodexp, searchexpression.pop()));
}
}
var finalResult = projectsQuery.Where(Expression.Lambda<Func<x, bool>>(searchexpression.pop(), new ParameterExpression[] { xParameter }));
here x is your Entity Name
